UV air purifiers destroy pollutants other filters and purifiers miss

An ultraviolent germicidal lamp, which is the main active component in a UV air purifier, destroys bacteria, viruses, and other harmful microorganisms that many other types of air quality systems don’t affect. These particles are small enough to flow through all except the most thick filters (which present their own problems; see below), and many conventional ionization air purifiers won’t affect them either.

They won’t place strain on the air flow of the HVAC system

There are powerful HEPA filters that can stop bacteria and viruses—but these are not suited for residential HVAC systems because they place too much restriction on the air flow through the ducts. But a UV air purifier places no resistance on air flow at all while still targeting the same pollutants.

They help the air conditioner run better

The lamps in a UV air purifier are positioned so they bathe the indoor coil of the air conditioner with their germ-killing light. This prevents mold from forming along the air conditioner’s evaporator coil while it runs. Not only does this benefit indoor air quality, but it helps the AC run more energy efficiently and will increase the system’s service life.
